GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

CHAH was a good school for what it is. a standard community school housing 6-12th graders. however chah did not and does not prepare you for college. As a senior I am taking no math courses. this puts me at a major disadvantage for college because I will have missed out on a years worth of studies that could of better my understanding in math. however while chah lacks in education the environment and teachers are amazing. providing retakes for children who struggled the first time around. even offering after school classes for any missed credits.

I came here in my last year of high school and I was very well received. The school staff is kind and willing to help the children in whatever they need. They offer a lot of help and resources to families in need.
